AOC pushes Democratic Party to distance itself from ‘Obama-era insiders’

Published November 16, 2024 8:24pm ET



After a disastrous election for Democrats that saw Republicans secure the presidency, House, and Senate, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is urging her party to change course, including moving away from “Obama-era insiders” who may be brought back to unify the party.

In a post on X Saturday, Ocasio-Cortez said, “A lot of people want to bring Obama-era insiders back for party building purposes. While those folks ran successful presidential campaigns, they also oversaw some of the largest downballot losses in modern times. Party building is different. Look to people w/ recent successes.”
